“Stepping Stories” is an online company offering personalized children’s books around those difficult topics of change, growth and development. It is the brain child of a local Tahoe mom, looking to make parenting a little easier. I became involved with them initially around the topic of food allergies in young children.

“Doctor as Teacher” is one of the primary tenets of Naturopathic Medicine. As a Naturopathic Doctor, I value my role as teacher very highly as it is my path to success with patients. Also, as a parent, I understand for children change can be difficult. Having a resource like “Stepping Stories” to educate a child on his/ her need to change habits to health is so important. The “Food Allergy Book”, in particular, has been a fabulous resource in my practice to convey the concept of food avoidance to young patients. Being able to involve and educate the child in the process is key to long-term success.
